The video shows a long queue of people waiting to buy tickets from a clerk. Practically nobody does that these days. I suggest you go on the England forum page and state your expected journeys. People could well come on and tell you if it would be cheaper to actually buy the tickets rather than use the pass. That said, the pass does give you the freedom to just show up and go.
For short journeys people generally pay on the day for a return ticket. For longer tips, it is usually cheaper to buy an Advance specific train ticket (no refunds) with these being loaded around 10 weeks ahead.
You can get about a third off most fares if you buy a Railcard for £30. See >https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tickets-railcards-and-offers/railcards/national-railcards/
On some routes, it pays to split the ticket at a calling place or change trains place. This site will tell you and you can play around with it by clicking Proceed without actually making a booking:>https://trainsplit.com
Then see if using this site comes up with the same prices without splits:>https://www.nationalrail.co.uk
